Your crew keeps texting.
The record builds itself.

The daily log, the change order, the delivery, the photo — filed under the right job at the end of a long day. Crews don't. Not out of carelessness: it is one more app, one more login, one more thing standing between them and the work.

So the record never really gets built. The system of record turns out to be a fiction — reconstructed from scrollback and memory the week a dispute lands.

FieldThread does not try to win that fight. It removes it.

The record is not something people enter data into. It is assembled from the communication that is already happening — the same thread, the same photos, the same voice notes on the drive home.

The only thing that changes in the field is the number they text.

THE USUAL CHAIN

Two links have to hold every single day. Both are made of somebody's willpower at 6 p.m.

THE FIELDTHREAD CHAIN

One link, and it is the one thing on a jobsite that never stops happening on its own.

— AND THE AI PART

Every contractor is being told to figure out AI. With FieldThread you don't have to.

It is built in from day one, working behind the scenes, agnostic to how you run your jobs. No chatbot, no prompts, nothing new to learn. You get the result of the AI — a project record that keeps itself current — without anyone having to operate it.

01

The crew texts the job thread

The messaging app your crew already uses, same group, same habits. “East wall is closed up.” A photo of the panel. A twenty-second voice note from the truck. Nobody logs into anything, and nobody gets trained.

02

The clerk files it

Every message gets read, translated where needed, and sorted: a daily log entry, an open item, a material need, a schedule date, or media. Voice notes are transcribed. Photos get a short id anyone can quote in a text.

03

The office reads the record

A live dashboard: what happened today, what is open, what is still waiting on a 👍, what is scheduled, what showed up. Read-only, on a link. There is nothing for the office to keep up to date.

Daily log

Every entry, time-stamped and attributed to the person who actually sent it.

Open items

Change orders, questions and tasks — each carrying whether anyone has confirmed it.

Schedule

Dates the crew mentioned in passing, put on a calendar instead of lost in a thread.

Materials

What was asked for, what showed up, and what is short — with who said so.

Media

Photos and video, each with a handle the crew can quote back in a text: “redo #214.”

Job context

Weather on the actual address, the client's number, and directions — one tap each, straight into your phone's own apps.

Every job at a glance

Run three jobs or thirteen — each has its own record, and one screen shows which needs you. Health is derived from the record itself: what is open, what has gone unconfirmed too long, which job has gone quiet.

BOTH LINES STAY IN THE RECORD. THE CURRENT VALUE IS THE LATEST ONE.

FieldThread didn't start as a product idea. It started with contractors telling us — unprompted, in almost the same words — where their projects actually live: in a message thread, in voice notes, in photos buried in someone's camera roll. The history that decides disputes, change orders and payment was one lost phone away from gone.

We build systems for small businesses, and we had never seen a category fail its users so consistently: powerful platforms everywhere, and the people doing the work refusing all of them — because every one assumes the field will do data entry. We became convinced the record shouldn't be entered at all. It should be assembled from the communication already happening.

So we're building FieldThread alongside a small number of Bay Area remodeling and renovation contractors — on their real jobs, at their pace. If something in the record is wrong, we want to hear about it the same day.
